Portland, where they issue the flannel, Birks, golden retriever, and Subaru at the border?
Ruh roh.
I don't own any Birks. Are Merrill's precariously close?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The status is NOT quo.
There is nothing more frustrating than a doctor who won't listen/help when you're legitimately goddamn sick, you know?So. Very. True.
Not that I've had recent experience with this, or anything.

Yeah, I think Merrills are the more recent version. And you're allowed to have a hybrid instead of a Subaru. Or eschew the car entirely and only have a bike....

What's the difference between the cool-sounding thingie and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

What's the one where you get a swollen spot on your wrist and then someone has to smack your wrist hard with a bible to make it pop and it's got a name somehow related to that? That one always made me kinda laugh, until I had to smack a friend really hard with a book (not a Bible, though) because she had that and didn't want to pay for the doctor to do it.

That's a ganglion cyst.
eta: Wikipedia tells me it is sometimes called a Bible Bump, or Gideon's Disease.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I have never owned a pair of Birkenstocks

I totally would have owned Birks if I could have when I was younger, but they've always been way too wide for my skinny feet.

The professor who offered to work with me on an independent study this summer is making me crazy. I told him I want to use it to do the paper part of my portfolio, which he agreed to. The portfolio paper is supposed to be 10 pages long. So I submit my proposal with the deliverable being a 10 page research paper and now he's telling me it's not enough to get the full credit for the ind. study. I did an ind. study last summer with another professor and the deliverable was a 4-5 page article that I published. I think I picked the wrong professor this year. :( :( :(
